I do not know how homeless people in Germany register themselves. But the point is, everyone should have a valid universal and free ID that allows them to vote and access social services.
That alone would greatly alter the administrative landscape and make the US a less attractive destination for undocumented aliens.
I agree with universal ID cards. (Wingnuts donβt.)
That said, I had a retired military ID issued by the government, a birth certificate issued by Michigan, and even a tourist passport when I was homeless. It was the lack of address that meant I could not vote.
